Nothing, the company behind the distinctive Nothing Phone, is developing an AI product—though exactly what it is remains a mystery. On Wednesday, CEO Carl Pei announced on X that the company's first "AI-native product" will ship in December. "It's a tool, but one built with the personality and care that have come to define a Nothing product. It has no new screen, and it couldn't have been an app," Pei wrote.

Pei has been teasing an AI-first device for some time, and the company has also indicated plans to release AI-linked smart glasses along with earbuds featuring AI integrations. Based on Pei's description, the upcoming product is a screenless, non-app device that leverages AI. He also describes it as a "productivity tool."

Adding further intrigue to the announcement, Pei appears to downplay any connection to AI wearables. "The whole industry is hunting for its iPhone moment: the pendant, the pin, the glasses, the companion, some magical consumer device that makes AI part of everyone's life," Pei wrote. "I admire the boldness, but I read this moment differently."

No firm release date has been announced, but Nothing fans should learn soon enough what the company has in store for them.
